Ridurre l'inquinamento elettromagnetico a casa propria è sempre salutare, che si soffra o meno di elettrosensibilità. Il libro spiega i diversi campi elettrici e magnetici esistenti e, soprattutto, fornisce le chiavi per misurare questi campi a casa propria, utilizzando un rilevatore facile da usare. Effettuate le misurazioni, spesso bastano poche decisioni di buon senso per ridurre significativamente l'inquinamento elettromagnetico in casa.

Povero, frammentato, robotizzato, iper-sfruttato: il lavoro oggi è un piano inclinato. Pur restando idealmente un fattore chiave della realizzazione personale, dell'identità sociale e delle prerogative di cittadinanza, l'esperienza del lavoro al tempo del capitalismo flessibile ostacola la definizione di traiettorie di vita coerenti. Come ricostruire il senso di sé se non c'è una prospettiva a lungo termine a cui aspirare? Come ripensare il diritto del lavoro per far sì che anche il contenuto delle proprie mansioni - quel che si fa, come lo si fa, la ragione per cui lo si fa - torni a contare? Come ricostruire il nesso tra lavoro, riconoscimento sociale e partecipazione politica?

Part prophecy and part erotic fantasy, this classic tale of otherworldly depravity features New York itself—or a foreigner’s nightmare of New York—as its true protagonist. Set in the towers and tunnels of the quintessential American city, Alain Robbe-Grillet’s novel turns this urban space into a maze where politics bleeds into perversion, revolution into sadism, activist into criminal, vice into art—and back again. Following the logic of a movie half-glimpsed through a haze of drugs and alcohol, Project for a Revolution in New York is a Sadean reverie that bears an alarming resemblance to the New York, and the United States, that have actually come into being.

From the bestselling author of The Art of Travel comes a wittily intriguing exploration of the strange 'non-place' that he believes is the imaginative center of our civilization.

Given unprecedented access to one of the world's busiest airports as a “writer-in-residence,” Alain de Botton found it to be a showcase for many of the major crosscurrents of the modern world—from our faith in technology to our destruction of nature, from our global interconnectedness to our romanticizing of the exotic. He met travelers from all over and spoke with everyone from baggage handlers to pilots to the airport chaplain. Weaving together these conversations and his own observations—of everything from the poetry of room service menus to the eerie silence in the middle of the runway at midnight—de Botton has produced an extraordinary meditation on a place that most of us never slow down enough to see clearly. Lavishly illustrated in color by renowned photographer Richard Baker, A Week at the Airport reveals the airport in all its turbulence and soullessness and—yes—even beauty.

The current understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of prostate cancer is reviewed by scientists mostly from the US, but also Europe and the Middle East. They describe the current concepts of steroid receptor and protein kinase signaling pathways as part of the effort to identify new molecular targets for therapy. More specific therapeutic topics include new perspectives on radiation therapy, predicting therapeutic response, new directions in hormonal treatment, surgical interventions, and targeted therapies.
